Why You Should Live Every Day Like It's Your Last

You only have one life and you should be spending it doing something spontaneous, exciting and generous. The average person lives to be around 78. That's roughly 30,000 days we expect to have. It seems like we have so much time, but in reality, we do not.

We need to stop expecting things.

Sometimes there is no tomorrow.

The key to life is to live to the fullest, living every day like it's your last. As cliche as it sounds, it's the best and most useful advice I have learned thus far. Every day should be exciting; you should look forward to the rest of today and everything in between. Stop living life expecting something out of it. Most of all, don't be lazy.

The biggest mistake is regret. Do what you want when you want. Never push something off because you expect there will be more time tomorrow, next month or even 5 years from now. Do it now.

Us millennials have the push to figure life out so early. We have our grandparents telling us about college, careers and future family plans. The thing is, us millennials might be the best thing to happen to these other generations. We are diverse. We are motivated but in different ways than them. We have career goals but having a steady job isn't the key factor in most of our lives. Most millennials crave adventure to discover more about life and the world around us.

Next time you look in the mirror, don't focus on what you see, focus on who you see. Live today the way you want to. Don't stress too much about your next test, focus on being a genuine person. Don't think about the negative thoughts, focus on the positives. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.

7 Things You Do If You’re One Of Those 'I Always Order Chicken Tenders' People

Growing up, my mom would usually have to cook me a separate dinner from my siblings. Why? Because I was ridiculously picky and wouldn't eat the same foods as everyone else. Trust me, it gets old. It's not my fault certain things just taste gross, you learn to live with it.

1. You eat something you hate just to see if you still hate it

I'll take a bite of a burger every once in a while just to reaffirm that it still tastes like dirt. I just have to know. Don't even get me started on vegetables.

2. When trying to explain what you actually like to eat, people give you major side eye

Don't ask me about my eating habits unless you want to get into a long, confusing conversation.

3. Eating at someone else’s house when you were younger was a pain

You hate to tell their parents just how much you hate the food that they gave you. So, you sucked it up and ate it anyway only to come home and whine to your parents.

4. There’s one thing on any menu you always fall back on...even if it’s on the kids menu

Pizza, maybe. Chicken tenders, always.

5. Trying a new food is a very proud moment

It's like, wow! Look at me being all adventurous.

6. When you realize you actually like some new food, that’s an even more amazing moment

Crazy times. This rarely happens.

7. Sometimes it’s the texture, sometimes it’s the flavor, all the time it’s left on your plate

Oops. At restaurants it's either left on your plate or your order is very specified.
